Happy 1st Birthday Little Bug!!!!!

It's official (well, actually not until 9:51pm, but who's counting) Little Bug turns 1 year old today. He's miserable, however. He has an awfull cold that is definately taking its toll on him, and me too!!! I'm hoping for some moments this afternoon where he is in good spirits so I can snap some birthday photos of him. At this point I haven't, because who really likes their picture taken when they can't stop sneezing. Cold or no cold, we love him so much and are so proud to celebrate this day away from the hospital (keep your fingers crossed and your prayers going up!) If I get a little bit of sleep today, I will post more later on as I have been quite reflective through the night and this morning over the past year of Connor's life. All I can say for the moment is thank you so much for your enduring perserverance to pray for us over the last 12 months. I know we wouldn't be where we are today without the miracles that each of your prayers produced for us and especially for Little Bug!!!

About Me

Hi my name is Connor Scott Robertson. I was born on January 11, 2006. My daddy is a pilot and I think that is so cool. My mommy gets to stay home with me which I think is super neat because we snuggle and cuddle alot. I was born with a special set of circumstances that require me to get some extra special attention from my doctors. I have Down Syndrome and a heart defect called an AV Canal. I have had a pretty eventful 1st year of life. I have been hospitalized most of the time and have spent alot of time in and out of doctors offices. Even though I have had a lot of difficulty so far, I am quite a fighter. My folks say I can do anything I put my heart and mind to and I believe them, because I am fighting really hard to become a big strong boy. Would you all take the time to say extra prayers for me? I know that God listens to our prayers and I believe he will answer our prayers to bring healing to my body. Can't wait to meet you all and have you watch me grow to be a mighty man of God one day.
